OmniKang by finnq & Schubi (Android 4.4)

This is an OmniROM based ROM with lots of cherry picks and modifications.

OmniKang is compatible with the official OmniROM nightlies.
So you normally you can flash OmniKang just over an OmniROM nightly without wiping anything. It's just the same procedure as flashing a new nightly.
You can also do the other way round without expecting problems.

I won't describe here in detail how to flash OmniKang because it's almost exactly the same procedure as for OmniROM. So please have a look here if you don't know. However, you don't have to flash Superuser manually, as it's already in OmniKang.

Main features

Android 4.4 and all the features of OmniROM

OpenPDroid
From time to time we release builds with OpenPDroid, but our nightlies don't have OpenPDroid support!

Lock screen notifications
Displays notifications on lock screen. You can swipe out notifications to dismiss them.

HALO
ParanoidAndroid's HALO Notification Bubble.

CM ribbons
QuickSettings ribbon controls in notification drawer

Dark UI (TRDS)
Change UI to black theme

NavBar Height Mod
You can set the height of the navigation bar from 20 dp up to stock 48 dp.

Center Clock Mod
You can move the clock to the middle of the status bar.

Battery Bar
Shows a bar with the battery status above the status bar or above the navigation bar.

NFC Polling Mode
Enable NFC polling on lock screen or when screen is of.

Advanced network activity indicator
For example, you can enable a two line indicator for up- and downstream (MiUi style).

Advanced low battery indicator options
You can disable the warning dialog for low battery warning and get a notification or only a sound instead.

More features
  • Status bar: Clock with custom date
  • Recent RAM bar: Displays a RAM bar on the recent apps view.
  • Lock screen: See through
  • Option to disable full screen keyboard in landscape mode

Yes. Its only the setupwizard what is screwed up. eveything else works.
Excellent job on this! So glad to see this come out of nowhere with all of the features that I like and/or want!

One quick observation....do you think that you guys will get around to updating the charging LED light so it stays solid instead of pulsate? I know a lot of ROMs have incorporated that now and was just curious if you might be able to do that?

Thanks and great job! :good:

Thats an hardware issue. No way out. Same as in TWRP, LG decided not to implement Date in lower levels, so Backups are named with 1970. :D
The charging LED is a hardware issue? Other ROMs on this phone have the light to stay on now, so I was just curious if you were going to implement it.

I'm not being rude but I just wasn't sure if you were responding to me or not. :thumbup:

Sure, no problem. While we are at it, I also noticed the LED light has another issue that has popped up on other ROMs. When you are plugged in and charging the phone and get a notification, the charging LED will turn off and won't turn back on unless you unplug and re-plug the phone in.

With all of that being said....this particular ROM has the LED functioning 100% the way I have described that it should: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610693

I hope you can figure it out from their code, because this ROM would easily be my daily if fixed! Thanks!
